The Taft Chamber of Commerce will be the site of an open casting call Saturday for a short, family-friendly film to be shot in July in Taft.

The casting call will be held from noon to 2 p.m. at the Taft Chamber of Commerce offices, 400 Kern Street.

If you can't make the casting call, there's still an opportunity to get involved.

Just email a photo of yourself to info@hometheaterfilms.com.

Producers are also looking for a white Ford F-250- pickup from the 1970, '80s or 90s to use in the film and a studio apartment to be used for a scene.

If you have a truck or apartment that might work, contact the chamber at 765-2165

The project is a short film entitled “Midland” and the story involves a young man in minor league baseball. Oliver Bernsen, son of Corbin Bernsen, is involved in the production for Home Theater Films, a project Corbin Bernsen started.

The elder Bernsen talked about doing more family-friendly projects like his film 25 Hill, partially shot in Taft, when he spoke at the Taft Chamber of Commerce Awards ceremony in February.
